Miklos, 25, a PhD student, and Minnie, 23, who works in film production, met for a blind date at the Bull and Last in London NW5. While the evening was enjoyable, both agreed there was no romantic spark, with Miklos scoring the date 9 out of 10 and Minnie scoring it 7.
First Impressions and Conversation
Miklos said his first impression of Minnie was that she was confident and just as confused as he was about how to start off a blind date. Minnie described Miklos as a very lovely guy with good vibes, noting that she was a tad late and he was super understanding.
The pair talked about the optimal time horizon to plan your life ahead, oscillating between one and 10 years, and then moved on to K-pop. Minnie mentioned they also discussed travel, studies, and controversial opinions on music concerts.
Memorable Moments and Table Manners
Miklos recalled his most awkward moment was stepping on a dog by accident on his way to the loo, but Minnie assured him it was OK. Minnie said neither of them could figure out the menu.
On table manners, Miklos said the food was so intimidatingly tasty it forced the best table manners out of them, adding that Minnie's were almost too good. Minnie described Miklos as very polite.
Final Thoughts and Verdict
Miklos described Minnie in three words as talkative, fuzzy, and edgy, and praised her as unabashedly herself. Minnie described Miklos as intelligent, chatty, and inquisitive, saying it was nice chatting with someone who has lived such a different life.
Neither went on anywhere after the date, and there was no kissing, though Minnie mentioned a couple of hugs. Miklos said he wished he had not stepped on that dog, while Minnie said they both would have liked to have been in a different part of town by the canal.
Miklos said it was clear to both of them by the end of the date that they were missing a romantic spark, concluding "That's life!" Minnie said they would probably not meet again, but there were no hard feelings.
